Kudumbasthan movie review: what critics say (6)

What critics say Critics are mostly positive with reservations: 3 of 6 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more. Praised: the performances, the script and the emotion.

News18 · Kirubhakar Purushotaman

While the comedy segments occasionally land well, Kudumbasthan fails to deliver the laugh riot it aspires to be, often resembling a series of YouTube sketches stitched together rather than a cohesive narrative.

For all its detours, Kudumbasthan works best when it sticks to basics — much like its protagonist, who discovers that family and honest work trump any get-rich-quick scheme.

Cinema Express · Jayabhuvaneshwari B

This family dramedy is woven around hilarious situations and bolstered by strong performances, but its over-the-top humour and excessive plot twists ultimately undermine its potential

The sketches in this Manikandan-starrer are laugh-out-loud funny mostly, but the film suffers from the sum of the parts not being greater than the whole.

...Kudumbasthan is a delightful family drama with heaps of relatable comedy. It also gives you lessons on family relationships and money.

Kudumbasthan Movie VerdictManikandan scores once again big time with Kudumbasthan with its clean comedy, witty writing, and light-heartedness it comes with. But that’s not all about it.

How is the fan score worked out?

It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give one star's films 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
